He has no idea who is coming to help on D and he can't see the whole floor to look for players to pass to. They just make it so hard for themselves.

Melo has passed great today. Would be nice to have Lebron James (13/21) on our team, no? Can't believe we are even close with our E league players.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

given up implies no effort. if that is what you see then you are in a delusional state.

they are playing desperately. They just suck.

suppose Shump hits that 3. Of course he misses. Suppose Felton can not be ignored on PnR's? Suppose Melo hit some more shots?

Effort missing? C'mon

then i am delusional. too many wide open shots and too many lanes to the basket.

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

even with PJax on their mind, and when they suppose to impress for next year, they are blowing it.

let Melo go, trade Tyson/STAT/Felton, sign some expired and some nice role players instead of Melo, and let PJax begin his era with a smart BB

When people say "trade Stat and Felton", makes me think that they are not informed.

STAT is showing nice BB lately and he has some value + he is on expiring contract, easy trade, for anything.

Felton? well, i would trade him even for a late 10th round of the NFL if possible, so yes, i'm informed

Stat cannot be traded!!

The only team that would trade for him is the Knicks.

Expiring does not have the same value as before.

i know, but how about another expiring for him? i just don't want to see him for another year and not compete again

What does Woodson draw on that board? It can't actually be a play
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

It's not that we have a bad team. We have a bad approach to the game. One team was playing smart high % BB and the Knicks played Dumb low % BB for the most part, which was covered up by JR hitting so many wild 3's. The rest of the offense has been a horror show.

I have to disagree a bit. It's not that we don't have any talent. We simply don't play smart BB and in particular the actual offensive scheme is leading to tons of low % poor shots and a lack of spacing, flow and deception. You don't see any LOGIC to the way this team plays BB. I see PLENTY of logic to the game plan for the Heat or a team like the Spurs etc. Good teams are more than just a collection of talent.

Bad execution and defensive system design combined with lack of talent.

That is not "effort"

I do agree that they are awful. This team is clumsy. We don't have any consistent shooters at guard.

Feast or Famine basketball cannot be successful.

JR has been on fire but we both know that he is either hot or cold. THJ is feast or famine. Felton and shump are always Famine.

We are not losing because of our front line, we are losing and we suck because our guards cause me to throw up in my mouth.

Blow it up!!
